Try to ensure that ftp gets install sets from the same directory it

looked in to get the list of available sets.

The list of available sets is obtained by connecting to the ftp server
interactively and issuing the commands

user <user> <pass>
cd <dir>
ls

where <dir> is treated as a relative path unless the user enters an
initial '/'. But the files are obtained by issuing the command

ftp ftp://<user>:<pass>@<host>/<dir>

and here <dir> is treated as an absolute path.

When using non-anonymous ftp this difference in the treatment of <dir>
could result in

a) Unhelpful error messages and unsuccessfull transfers.

b) Different sets than intended being installed.

c) Incorrect lists of available sets being displayed.

Now, the non-anonymous ftp transfer command with relative paths (i.e.
no leading '/' or '~') will look like

ftp ftp://<user>:<pass>@<host>/~/<dir>
